• He could care less about the Pro Bowl, which he finds boring. "I actually watched re-runs of Pawn Stars instead."

• He's jealous of San Francisco Giants closer Brian Wilson's thick beard. "His beard is great; I can't grow a beard like that though. If I started now it'd take like three years to look like his."

• His guilty pleasure is watching "Jersey Shore" on MTV: "Every episode just gets better. Like last week, when Ronnie and Sammi were fighting and Ronnie says to her, 'You bring me a piece of pizza, not a protein shake?' -- hilarious."

Staley also has launched a campaign to attract a larger Twitter following.

"I don't have many followers now because I've barely been on there," Staley writes on his blog. "My girlfriend has about 400 followers because of her soccer, and I made a competition with her. I told her I could get more followers in a week than she has right now, and she's been on there for a year.

"Hopefully this blog will help me overtake her. There are bragging rights on the line here, so help me out Faithful."

He is dating women's professional soccer player Carrie Dew of Sky Blue FC.
